Intro to GIS

GIS is no longer limited to mapping specialists. These days, almost anyone can take advantage of the power of GIS including engineers, land-use specialists, planners, social scientists, fire, police and emergency management professionals, infrastructure managers, or anyone else who works with data with a geographic component.

 - Monroe County's Intro to GIS Using ArcGIS 9.3.1 I  provides a strong understanding of the fundamental principles of GIS, as well as hands-on experience with the latest software.

 - Monroe County's Intro to GIS Using ArcGIS 9.3.1 II   goes into more advanced techniques which will aid the basic user in creating and managing GIS data.

More information on the new classes will be released soon.
